Fellow OzBargainers,

With Easter holiday is approaching, I have been wondering if I should go somewhere for holiday with my family. I dont have much annual leave at the moment, so only looking to go somewhere nice and relaxing for those 4 public holidays (rather than sitting pretty at home)
Domestic or overseas destinations (short distance of course!) are okay.

Obviously, I have not planned anything until now so just want to get some ideas on potential destinations and if it's advisable to organise a trip in such a short time especially economically as some hotels may jack up the prices closer to date or vice versa (?).
Accommodation availability may be a challenge too being so close to the dates.

Anyone with previous last-minute trip is welcomed to share their experience.

P.S. 2 adults + 1 toddler in Sydney

UPDATE: Anyone with suggestions where to look for last minute holiday deals would be much appreciated!

    The answer to the question of whether to take a holiday is always 'yay'.

    Yay for Fun Nay for Cost!! Last minute Hols during School Holidays/easter is so anti OzBARGAIN.

    Unless of course you also get off on crowds and long queues

    Easter show !

    Way too expensive now to try and book something

    Everyone needs a holiday. I think for most people, it's not a case of whether they can afford it or not. It's whether it's high enough on their priority list.

    So if you're willing to spend, then why not?

    Easter break is a high demand period, so prices will likely be higher than usual.

    Any nice places to go to for a day trip? Suggestions?

  • LyndonBBear on 02/04/2017 - 21:01

    Tasmania always sounds good.

    • OzFrugie on 03/04/2017 - 09:14

      4 days are enough in Tasmania? Shops will be closed though, right?

  • onetwothreefour on 03/04/2017 - 06:28

    NZ? Not too far away and flights usually aren't too expensive.

  • inherentchoice on 03/04/2017 - 15:15
